This species is very similar in shape to Flabellina bicolor, including having long oral tentcles with flattened, paddle-shaped tips. It differs in having a reticulate white pattern on the body, rather than a uniform dusting of white, and a purple band and a yellow band on each ceras, rather than just the yellow or gold band found in Flabellina bicolor.
